How to Find Out About an Arrest in Teton County
An arrest in Teton County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: iCourt Portal, the Idaho courts' free statewide case search, which shows whether charges were filed; the Prosecuting Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at tetoncountyidaho.gov/government/elected_officials/prosecuting_attor..., phone (208) 776-8100).
Idaho is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: name-based conviction checks are open to the public, through the Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Teton County
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. Under the Idaho Public Records Act the agency must answer within 3 working days, or 10 when more time is needed, and it may charge copying after the first 100 pages and labor after the first two hours.
- An arrest by the Teton County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit, reached through the office at (208) 776-8200.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the Prosecuting Attorney, (208) 776-8100, handles discovery for pending cases.
